Core Image

Index Core Image

Core Image is a pixel-accurate, near-realtime, non-destructive image processing technology in Mac OS X. Implemented as part of the QuartzCore framework of Mac OS X 10.4 and later, Core Image provides a plugin-based architecture for applying filters and effects within the Quartz graphics rendering layer.

Adobe Photoshop

Adobe Photoshop is a raster graphics editor developed and published by Adobe for Windows and macOS.

See Core Image and Adobe Photoshop

Affine transformation

In Euclidean geometry, an affine transformation or affinity (from the Latin, affinis, "connected with") is a geometric transformation that preserves lines and parallelism, but not necessarily Euclidean distances and angles.

See Core Image and Affine transformation

Alpha compositing

In computer graphics, alpha compositing or alpha blending is the process of combining one image with a background to create the appearance of partial or full transparency.

See Core Image and Alpha compositing

Aperture (software)

Aperture is a discontinued professional image organizer and editor developed by Apple between 2005 and 2015 for the Mac, as a professional alternative to iPhoto.

See Core Image and Aperture (software)

Blend modes

Blend modes (alternatively blending modes or mixing modes) in digital image editing and computer graphics are used to determine how two layers are blended with each other.

See Core Image and Blend modes

Dashboard (macOS)

Dashboard is a discontinued feature of Apple Inc.'s macOS operating systems, used as a secondary desktop for hosting mini-applications known as widgets.

See Core Image and Dashboard (macOS)

Floating-point arithmetic

In computing, floating-point arithmetic (FP) is arithmetic that represents subsets of real numbers using an integer with a fixed precision, called the significand, scaled by an integer exponent of a fixed base.

See Core Image and Floating-point arithmetic

GEGL

The Generic Graphics Library (GEGL) is a programming library under development for image processing applications. Core Image and GEGL are graphics libraries.

See Core Image and GEGL

GIMP

GNU Image Manipulation Program, commonly known by its acronym GIMP, is a free and open-source raster graphics editor used for image manipulation (retouching) and image editing, free-form drawing, transcoding between different image file formats, and more specialized tasks.

See Core Image and GIMP

Human eye

The human eye is an organ of the sensory nervous system that reacts to visible light and allows the use of visual information for various purposes including seeing things, keeping balance, and maintaining circadian rhythm.

See Core Image and Human eye

Impromptu (programming environment)

Impromptu is a Mac OS X programming environment for live coding.

IPhoto

iPhoto is a discontinued digital photograph manipulation software application developed by Apple Inc. It was included with every Mac computer from 2002 to 2015, when it was replaced with Apple's Photos application.

See Core Image and IPhoto

Just-in-time compilation

In computing, just-in-time (JIT) compilation (also dynamic translation or run-time compilations) is compilation (of computer code) during execution of a program (at run time) rather than before execution.

See Core Image and Just-in-time compilation

LiveQuartz

LiveQuartz is a basic graphic editor developed for macOS by Romain Piveteau.

See Core Image and LiveQuartz

Mac OS X Leopard

Mac OS X Leopard (version 10.5) is the sixth major release of macOS, Apple's desktop and server operating system for Macintosh computers.

Pixelmator

Pixelmator is a series of graphics editors developed by Pixelmator Team for macOS and iOS.

See Core Image and Pixelmator

Preview (macOS)

Preview is the built-in image viewer and PDF viewer of the macOS operating system.

See Core Image and Preview (macOS)

Quartz (graphics layer)

In Apple's macOS operating system, Quartz is the Quartz 2D and Quartz Compositor part of the Core Graphics framework.

Swift (programming language)

Swift is a high-level general-purpose, multi-paradigm, compiled programming language created by Chris Lattner in 2010 for Apple Inc. and maintained by the open-source community.

See Core Image and Swift (programming language)

Vector processor

In computing, a vector processor or array processor is a central processing unit (CPU) that implements an instruction set where its instructions are designed to operate efficiently and effectively on large one-dimensional arrays of data called vectors.

See Core Image and Vector processor

Windows Imaging Component

Windows Imaging Component (WIC) is a COM-based imaging codec framework introduced in Windows Vista (and later available in Windows XP Service Pack 3) for working with and processing digital images and image metadata.
